While this year hasn't gone exactly as we all thought it would, we were still able to have a successful DL Mentorship Program! The majority of one-on-one meetings between DLs and Mentors were able to take place prior to social distancing and some have taken place virtually! Both Mentors and Mentees thought this year's program was enjoyable and successful - read some quotes below!

Thank you Mentors for your generous commitment of time and thank you to the DLs for participating!

"These were some of the best I have had since we launched
this program. We should continue to offer
and hopefully expand this opportunity for the DLs."

"Everyone I was able to meet with was
very hospitable and open to helping in anyway."

"Both of these young DLs are fine professionals.
I was flattered to be considered a mentor."

"The mentorship program is always an excellent
experience. The selected mentors are responsive
and receptive. I truly look forward to this program each year..."

stayed in touch with a couple of them."

and excited to chat and get to know me a bit better.
